More Bombs in London [merged]

thursday 21/07/05 -In London, three metrostations were evacuated. The Firedepartment and other help are at the scene. The police is refering to "multiple incidents". It is unclear what is happening.

The metrostations of Warren Steet Shepherds Bush and Oval are evacuated. Warren Street got evacuated after the news that smoke came out of the tubes.

A witness told a fellow traveler that a small explosion had blew up a backpack.

Anonymous sources at the subways are talking about a nailbomb and a shooting. Also there is a claim that detonators went off and not real bombs.

The police furthermore refered to an incident at a buss in Hackney, East London.

More news will follow.

The bus-incident caused no victims, only one window got blown out.

The police doesn't count this all as a "serious incident" yet but Tony Blair has postponed his visit nontheless.

🙁 looks like a new trend.

The police chief has "upgraded" the incident to "very serious", saying there were four explosions or attempts to explode, the bombs are smaller than those of two weeks ago.
Scotland Yard have asked people to stay inside. The number of victims have been labeled as "limited".

According to Associated Press, men in chemical protectionsuits went to the station of Warren Street.
Talk has it that armed policemen have entered the University College Hospital, later on they enclosed it.

Mayor Ken Livingstone already cancelled a visit he would do today.

yeah i just seen this on the news wtf is with these people.

A witness saw someone throw a backpack in and ran, the person could get out since people's attempts to catch him failed.

A trainguard said, according to the victim:
"Everybody off the train! We're evacuating the station." With people running into a carriage screaming: "Smoke! Smoke!"

The stations that got hit are:
Shepherds Bush
Warren Street
Oval

The bus was on:
Hackney Road

The situation has not been lifted up to a "major incident" yet.

Police Chief of London:
- 4 explosions, bus has no injured
- metro had only detonators and a nailbomb possibly but the bombs failed, they think
- police went into a hospital, at this very moment they have arrested someone and are searching him
- Oval has no chemical traces of a bomb
- they think the main cause this time was to cause panic
- three light injured police officers have been reported

Completely depressing.

Worse over, it's only a matter of time before Novusordo starts up on the numerology and goverment crap.

I was just watching the coverage on the BBC, armed police just arrested a guy outside of Whitehall....I thought they might leave England alone for awhile

thoes are/were prety scary
shepards bush is quite close to where i live...

I was watching the news as it came in, been watching it all day since it happened.

sounds to me like it was some kind of amateur copycat attempt....

shrug

Just glad it seems to have been a failed attempt... only 1 injury.

Damn..that's scary 🙁

yea i know ... im just hoping that thoes 'incidents' dont get any closer....

I was in Knightsbridge London today. We had Four more explosions and it took me two hours to drive home it usually only takes thirty minutes.

Thankfully only one injured...

Two arrested is the latest...

I was in Knightsbridge today I went home past the Oval station back into South London. It takes me 30 minutes normally to get home today it took two hours. London is under siege, but we will keep not bow to terrorism.

This whole thing is crazy... Its hard to believe that anyone could do this kind of thing.

What is going on? Anyone know?

The police are still colating info right now....
No one has claimed responsibilty yet..
and still the figures remain unchanged pertaining to arrests/injuries....

these terrorists seem to like London for some reason, usually they don't stay in one spot, hopefully everyone wasn't injured.

the reports are that they bombs detonators went off but not the bombs themselves...

this could be due to the fact that if they were made from the same batch of explosives that were used in the previous attacks then the explosives may have destabilised to much to be "useful"

this could potentially be a huge blessing as the intact explosives will yield huge amount of forensic evidence with which to help track down those reponsible...
